I haven’t written in a long time but I am still out on the trails.
I will be leading the following hikes in Rockaway Township:
- Nov 20 2011 from the boat launch lot on SplitRock road, 10AM start 3-4 hours on the trails with lunch on the trail. A UCHC (http://www.uchc.nynjtc.org/ ) hike, I am a substitute leader
- 9 Feb 2012 — Copperas Mountain South, Rockaway Township, 10AM at Egbert Lake parking. About 4 hours with lunch on the trail, A UCHC hike.
- 12 Feb 2012 — Copperas Mountain South, Rockaway Township,
10AM at Egbert Lake parking. About 4 hours with lunch on the trail, A IHC hike.
- 22 Feb 2012 —Lake Ames, Rockaway Township,
10AM at the playground (RT Castle) on Lake Ames, 2 hr hike with gentle ups & downs. UCHC hike.

I am interested in information on the Split Rock land tract, circa 1800 and the history of Durham Pond, when was it first built and when was it modified to its current configuration. I am also interested in when Major George W Farny acquired lands around Durham Pond and when his estate sold lands to Winnebago around 1941. If you have knowledge about the above please share with me.
